Congratulations on this spectacular chronograph!
Definitely one of the top targets for me And a rare enough occurrence to have a movement by Flageollet, Journe and Halter in one watch
One i’ve been chasing for a few years..
Enjoy! Those Tortues are so elegant and unique.
Mike, if you found it, you can keep it.
Looking good there. Huge congratulations. Best, Volker
Very, very nice 'Mr Richemont'! :-)
but if you don't mind my saying I actually prefer this one as the bezel on yours is a bit on thick side. I, you can tell, have absolutely no clue when it comes to design!!! ...
That is a beauty, and a very rare one.
I had a line on a WG piece but was too slow to "hit the buy button".
There is one up for auction next week in London!
PM me Mike if you are keen but it is not in white gold Incidentally, you said that the square piece is a very rare one. Rarer than yours?
The WG Tank MP is in 100 examples.
The RG the same. I am not sure but I think at least two iterations of the Tortue MP were not limited editions, although they were never made in great numbers. Geo, I'm sure, would know if one of the versions was limited.
Thanks Mike!
Yes the square MP does seem rarer on the used websites. I assume all use the same movement. May I ask is your keeping time well? I ask as I am thinking of bidding for the rose gold version next week. The most important word there is 'thinking'!!
It is keeping excellent time, and I am pretty sure it hasn't been serviced.
It was first sold in 2008. Check your email.
See below, redcorals.
And thanks. Haven't had it that long, although it's not brand new for me. It was very difficult to get a TortueMP with a complete set-both boxes, papers, cloth, loupe, warranty and booklets and CD! And I wasn't too concerned which model it was. All of the...
Gongrats on the MP XL
These are great watches. I personally prefer the large model slightly over the XL but that is just a matter of taste and my small wrist size. Enjoy this baby. GEO
Thank you, Geo.
I'd be happy with any version-I love this one. Isn't that yours on the lovely lady above?
Are you sure this the XL model Geo? Here are two versions from a pic taken by SJX...
...the left one (XL) has the fuller chapter ring with VIII and Partial IX visible while the right one is Mikes. ...
